Green Mountain Union High School in Chester is one of the institutions just approved for a loan from the Vermont Municipal Bond Bank.

Vermont was one of the first states in the country to start a municipal bond bank, back in 1970. Now, the state’s bond bank helps cities and towns get low-interest loans for everything from fire trucks to high school renovations. We’re talking about what the Vermont Municipal Bond Bank does, and the ways that it's changing.

We're joined by Michael Gaughan, executive director of the Vermont Municipal Bond Bank.

Broadcast Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2018 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
